Garden Law Discussion

Rights of Way are for "passing and repassing" and one is not allowed to park on them - except, very briefly, to allow goods or people to get on or off a vehicle. With that - I would have thought the same principle applies to "parking" a hose or the like on a pedestrian ROW. That being that one could...

Yep...I know what I was thinking should happen here from your pov - and then....bingo...that's exactly what Pilman said. So "game set match" to you I'd say. You hold all the cards here. My own take personally would be to "stick to my guns" and the existing ROW. With that - that would have the advant...

Right now I think if I were you I'd put a gate in which I'd lock for the duration of the movement restrictions. If anyone challenges you about it just tell them you'll unlock it when it's all over. No one will be able to get it before a court right now, and I suspect a judge would give you a lot of...

Pilman, I would be very interested to know if the fact that the area (from which the OP claims a portion under the ad medium filum presumption ) was prevously a street would make any difference ( once a highway always a highway) . Would not the public have rights to access all of the area which was...

Probably they would.

Hopefully they would.

I guess what the arborist is referring to is sending the neighbour an official letter for "date of knowledge" purposes. That being that, as from the "date of knowledge" (ie date they are officially informed there is a problem that is their responsibility to see to) then the onus is on them to deal w...

That won't be a possibility then by the look of it - as it's a back garden. This seems to only apply to front gardens where someone has tarmaced (concreted?) more than 5 square metres. Sorry about that - I have the feeling the only way that garden is going to get sorted is if she sells the house to ...

I'm wondering whether this might fall under the fact that one has to have planning permission??? isnt allowed??? to have more than about an area big enough for one car to park in tarmaced (or concreted?) over these days unless permeable paving is used. It sounds like she has concreted over a larger ...

In that position personally - I would certainly clear the ivy my side (removing it totally) and do whatever is necessary to MY fence (you have admitted it is yours) and then the neighbour will have the chance to clear your ivy that has overgrown onto her side (ie because you will have removed the ri...

Hello champignon, There are thousands of properties which have "a right of way at all times and for all purposes with or without motor vehicles"(or similar), written in the title deeds, which enables them to use land belonging to a neighbour is a specific way (easement). Those who know no better, w...

Thank you for your replies, but, I must add, I am a little surprised that someone can come along, and break ancient party wall laws; and excavate heavy original boundaries markers and in the process, damage property belonging to innocent neighbours, its a throw back to feudal times, when different ...

following.....as I have a neighbour that thinks like this.

People are not legally allowed to block a "Right of Way". Vehicles can only be parked there temporarily - to "load or unload" people or goods. I would have thought this lane comes under that heading.

Now wondering if Mr Sheen is Sprocker's nfh.

Perhaps it's more about trying to predict what the neighbours will actually do rather than what they're legally entitled to do. You mean like call the police and claim criminal damage? LOL - and, by now, it does rather look like it would serve OP right if they did so too. He seems to be determined ...
